Chapter 2

Sitting before Helen was the couple that was sitting in the waiting room and six other people that were just as beautiful as they are. They were all looking at me as if I was the answer to all their problems. That is very creepy. I looked over at Helen to see she was just as surprised as I was. I don't even know them but I can already tell they were rich, which is weird because rich people never came here to adopt, we were the troubled kids, they always wanted the perfect child. They were just wasting there time. Which I realized was true when they got up left.

" Melissa, sit down I'll be back in a minute." I nodded and sat in one of the empty seats as Helen walked the beautiful people out. I almost laughed when I noticed Helen drooling over a tall blond man. I crossed my arms and waited for Helen to come back. While I waited I looked around at the familiar room, the old computer sitting on a chipped desk that had a few files on top, and the filing cabinets that contained all our files. I sighed and started tapping my foot impatiently. After about ten minutes of nothing but listening to the clock tick, she finally came back. She sat on the old computer chair behind her desk and crossed her arms.

" I'm going to assume you know why you're here."

" I have no idea why I'm here, why don't you tell me."

" Someone put bleach in Rebecca's shampoo, do you know who did it?"

I made sure my face was perfectly blank so she won't be able to tell I'm lying.

" no."

" Melissa, I need to know who did it," she tried to use her 'mean voice' but it just made her voice more annoying that usual.

" I already told you, I don't have any idea who did it."

She sighed and I could already tell she was starting to loose patients with me and nodded," alright if you really don't know you can leave."

I got up and walked to the door when I looked up I almost cried at the disappointment I saw in her eyes. She knew I was lying.

I quietly walked out of her office and started towards my room, hoping I didn't run into anyone. As I walked down the halls I couldn't help but think of how much the tile floors and stark white walls reminded me of a hospital, I quickly shook away the thought before memory's started flooding back and made me feel worse than I already did.

When I passed by a window that gave me a view of the parking lot I saw the same family that was in the office getting in their expensive cars, a gorgeous blond women looked back at me and gave me a small smile. Confused I just looked away and continued to walk to my room.

When I walked through my bed room door I was pleasantly surprised when Sara was away. I jumped on my unmade bed and let myself get drowned by my quilt and loneliness.
